The present invention discloses an air conditioning (AC) system, which comprises an indoor ventilation device, at least one air-supply chain and at least one cascading duct. The indoor ventilation device comprises a main blower. Each of the at least one air-supply chain comprises “n” sub air-supply regions each having at least one air inlet and at least one air outlet. Each of the at least one cascading duct is used to one-by-one cascade each of the “n” sub air-supply regions by sequentially connecting with the at least one air inlet and/or the at least one air outlet of each of the “n” sub air-supply regions, wherein “n” is an integer and “n”>1 and at least one of the at least one cascading duct is a partition wall connecting any two sub air-supply regions.

Architectures and techniques are presented that can facilitate improved design and function of certain heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) devices. Architectures directed to an improved evase device can be designed with rounded corners that can facilitate, e.g., mitigation of reverse flow that traditionally grows back from corners of a transition from an axial fan to a rectangular duct. Architectures directed to an improved intake device can be designed to limit intake from certain flow directions and to smoothly change flow direction, which can facilitate, e.g., reduction in noise. Architectures directed to an improved fan intake device can be designed to reduce noise without significantly reducing total pressure. Architectures directed to an improved air handler device can be designed to concurrently heat and cool air and to reduce dimensions (e.g., size, weight) that can reduce costs and mitigate shipping and installation difficulties.

An air terminal device for a ventilation system includes a pressure box, with an inlet admitting supply air into the pressure box and outlet openings for admitting supply air out. The air terminal device further includes a cover plate to control and change the open area of the outlet openings. The outlet openings are in a wall of the pressure box forming an outlet surface of the pressure box. The cover plates are arranged to make contact with and slide relative the outlet surface while changing the open area of the outlet openings. The cover plate is located on the high pressure side of the outlet surface. The cover plate cooperates with the outlet surface such that there is at least one outlet opening or suction opening being partly or fully covered by the cover plate also when the air terminal device is set to maximum flow.

An air system includes an enclosure including walls; and selectively removable opening sections on one or more of the walls. Each of the selectively removable opening sections comprises a part that is selectively removable to create an air flow passageway out of the enclosure. The air system and/or enclosure is thus adaptable for different configurations of air flow.

This disclosure relates generally to cabinets for commercial heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) systems. More particularly, this disclosure relates to HVACR cabinets including one or more plenum fans located in a fan box. The fan box may be located between an indoor coil and a heat exchanger compartment of an HVACR unit. The fan box may be configured to direct air into a heat exchanger compartment inlet. The fan box may be parallel with or angled with respect to the indoor coil.

A Fluid Flow Control System (FFCS) door assembly includes a continuous belt and a plurality of rollers. The plurality of rollers support the continuous belt and define a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, and a fourth segment. The continuous belt includes a plurality of openings that selectively allow fluid flow to pass through the first segment, the second segment, the third segment, and the fourth segment when two openings of the plurality of openings align with the first segment, the second segment, the third segment, or the fourth segment.

Architectures and techniques are presented that can facilitate improved design and function of certain air handler devices. Architectures directed to an improved air handler device can be designed to improve temperature control demands such as, e.g., concurrently heat and cool air and reducing device dimensions (e.g., size, weight) that can reduce costs and mitigate shipping and installation difficulties. Architectures directed to U-bend structures can further reduce footprint on leasable space and provide improved acoustics, service access, and reduced energy consumption and infrastructure costs.

A manifold assembly includes a body and a damper assembly. The body defines a first opening, a second opening, outlet third opening, and a fluid plenum. The fluid plenum fluidly couples the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening. The damper assembly includes a first damper, a second damper, and a connecting member. The first damper is disposed within the fluid plenum proximate to the first opening. The second damper is disposed within the fluid plenum proximate to the second opening. The connecting member is coupled to both the first damper and the second damper and is configured to move the first damper and the second damper to selectively open one of the first opening or the second opening while closing the one not opened.

An air management device may include three independently operated primary impellers 131, 131′, 131″, and drawn-in air is discharged through discharge ports 15′-1, 15′-2, 15′-3 provided in the front plate 15 of the housing 10. Louvers 141, 142, 143 installed downstream of the air flow and discharge ports 15′-1, 15′-2, 15′-3 may be independently opened or closed to provide discharge of the air to the surrounding environment. Further, at least one retractable or pop-up fan may be provided. The air management allows customization of air flow. The housing 10 of the furniture-type air management device may be installed on the floor of the livable space and may have a hexahedron shape that extends from side to side. A bottom inlet 11′ may be formed on the bottom plate 11 of the housing 10 facing the floor of the living space above a predetermined distance. The replaceable filter 300 may be installed to filter the air sucked through the bottom inlet 11′, and may be drawn in and out of the housing 10. A plurality of passage openings 302 may be formed in a filter frame 301, and filters 320, 330, and 340 are stacked over the passage openings 302.
